Encavis Asset Management expands wind portfolio for Versicherungskammer
Versicherungskammer helps to save 30,500 tonnes of CO₂
 

Neubiberg/Munich, 23 March 2023. Encavis Asset Management AG (Encavis AM), a subsidiary of the MDAX-listed wind and solar park operator Encavis AG, advises the Versicherungskammer Group on the acquisition of a German wind farm with a total capacity of 23.6 megawatts (MW). The acquisition is being handled by their special fund Encavis Infrastructure Fund III (EIF III). The park was developed and realised by the UKA-Unternehmensgruppe.

The wind farm consists of a total of four wind turbines. Three Vestas turbines of type V150 - 6.0 MW are in the municipality of Treplin and have been in operation since February 2022. Another Vestas turbine from type V150 - 5.6 MW is located in Gusow and has already been producing green electricity since April last year. The entire wind farm supplies around 27,700 households with green electricity and saves over 30,500 tonnes of CO₂ annually.

Georg Distler, Head of Infrastructure Investments at Versicherungskammer Group: "Through this acquisition, we are expanding our portfolio. With the consistent expansion of Renewable Energies, Versicherungskammer is making an active contribution to CO₂ avoidance and thus to climate protection. We are also supporting security of energy supplies in Germany. We look forward to the proven cooperation with our partner Encavis."

Karsten Mieth, Spokesman of the Board of Encavis Asset Management AG: "We are pleased to have realised another transaction together with our long-term business partner UKA Group. Thanks to the excellent cooperation, the fund portfolio of EIF III could be complemented by a high-quality wind farm."

Encavis Asset Management AG is responsible for the structuring of the entire project and will take over the commercial management, energy management, accounting and controlling of the wind farm.

UKB Umweltgerechte Kraftanlagen Betriebsführung GmbH is responsible for the technical management of the wind farm.
